The girlfriend and I were looking to escape Vegas for a Saturday afternoon and decided to head up to Mt. Charleston after living here for 8 months and not having checked it out. There was a recent winter storm that dumped a good amount of snow in the area and another storm brewing that would sure bring some snow flurries and make it a unique experience.
The restaurant itself is a bit old and small; however, it provides the feel of an old cabin high up in the mountains compared to most modern restaurants you see in mountain destinations these days. The outside deck, which looks to be open for seating during the warmer months offers great views of the surrounding area, definitely selfie worthy! We brought our little dog (10 pound papillon) to eat lunch with us on the Doggy Deck (yes, dogs get their own menu as well. However, it was just too cold to eat outside so we placed her back in the car with blankets and opted to eat inside. Some people did eat outside though and they looked miserable while the snow flurries were gusting around LOL! The inside is very old and rustic and just has that overall old feel to it, which is nice though! Just dont go in here thinking you're eating at a 5 star steak house!
The service was nothing special. The server was nice but the actual service was just average. Had to ask for water multiple times. The server never came back to check on us after the food was delivered and I had to flag down a busser to get the dressing for my salad.
My girlfriend had the french onion soup with a chicken caesar salad and I had the chicken garden salad with the soup of the day (pasta e fagioli). THE FOOD WAS GREAT! I'll give them a 5/5 here for sure. We got to eat along the window and ate as it was snowing outside for a few minutes here and there which made the experience great.
We'll definitely be heading back again in the future!
